Group 4 Technologies

Group 4 Technologies

A Google map is a technology for finding streets, business and places of interest. I have used Google maps before as it is free. The main requirements of this and Google earth and Google documents is to have a computer with internet access. I had used the technology to look up our now purchased property many times before moving. My issue with this is that the map of our area has not changed in over three years.  There are newer features available as I could tick to see places of interest in an area of interest. Rather than buying expensive maps to find the best way to get from point A to point B this has it all available for free, whether driving or walking or if in a city catching public transport and times between each turn off. This can then be printed and used instead.  The game ‘Where in the World’ was fun, but again my internet was slow or not working properly to bring up the map images. I am hoping this is only due to the bad weather we have been experiencing.
